Who cares they still have a responsibility to the team that ridiculously over-pays them.

Tony Parker sprained a finger on his shooting hand in France's final exhibition game Tuesday, leaving his availability for the opening game of the World Championships in doubt.
Parker injured the finger on his right hand while grabbing a player's jersey in France's 86-74 victory over Brazil. France's coach, Claude Bergeaud, said he wasn't sure if Parker would be able to play Saturday against Manu Ginobili and Argentina.
Spurs officials were trying to gather information on Parker's injury and hoped to know more today. France flew from China to Japan this morning to begin its final preparations.
The Spurs also are waiting to learn whether Bruce Bowen will make the 12-man active roster for the United States. Washington's Gilbert Arenas left the team Monday with a groin injury, but the United States still has to make one more cut before Friday.
Bowen had four points and two turnovers in 14 minutes during Tuesday's 116-63 victory over South Korea. It was his most playing time in the team's five exhibition games.
Bowen averaged the fewest minutes of the 13 players, but there's sentiment among some USA Basketball officials that his defense could be needed in the later rounds.
Houston's Shane Battier and Washington's Antawn Jamison, two other players thought to be on the bubble with Bowen, both played well during the exhibition schedule. The United States also could decide to cut one big man, like Sacramento's Brad Miller, though that would risk exposing the team's frontline depth given the inconsistency of FIBA officiating.
This is THE STUPIDEST thing I ever read.
I wonder what the Team USA members think of WC in Japan. Are they there to win gold or they just want to get bronze? They all know the rules. As the internationl players know the rules in NBA when they play in NBA.
T Park, do you ever play basketball?
Of course he play bball. On playstation.
I hope TP gets better soon. I would like to see France playing their best ball ever.
TPark and Sequ making asses of themselves.
What's new?
to bad tp could school manu
"cut one big man, like Sacramento's Brad Miller, though that would risk exposing the team's frontline depth"
Hah! how does BM contribute anything to front-line depth?
T Park cant bend to reach for the ball
boykins is taller then sequa
It's not because those players have contract with the spurs that they are slave to them. You mean they can't play basket with their kids because they could get hurt ?
Plus, NBA exist because of us. If we were not buying anything, Parker and co wouldn't be spurs...
Speaking for myself, i pay for NBA tv, I bought some stuff from the spurs...
And i have to say that i'm waiting for this events. If you do not like it, accept that other can appreciate it. If you don't care about others, i can't help you...
on what? being a ballhog?
Tpark preparing an excuse just in case Team USA gets beat
what's new?
I totally agree. Teams should want to protect their players; it's as simple as that
To come back at the subject of this thread : Parker will take medical exams thursday morning but, for the moment, he should play against Argantina.
wow really? Hopefully he doesn't injure it further...
why should he play?
would spurs tell him it is ok to play ?
Because that's what the french article said :

A ce jour sa participation à la première rencontre du Championnat du Monde, samedi 19 août 2006, face à l’Argentine, n’est pas remise en cause.
No its not stupid. The spurs gave them a chance to succeed in the NBA. Without that opportunity they would not be rich and famous for doing something they love. The owe the spurs organization to stay healthy and do what they are asked to do. If it was up to the organization then they would not be risking injury by playing in FIBA. They owe it to the spurs to be resting and preparing to try to win another championship.
when they dissolve team USA and USA starts sending college kids, then you can make that argument. Since thats NEVER gonna happen, shut the up and stop crying about international players.
